Not sure who you were trying to impress with that block rationale ("I wish to be clear that I am serious about the interaction ban that I have imposed"). It reminds me of the father who slaps his child in the face and then threatens to punch her next, if she dares to speak again. Moreover, treating an editor like a vandal doesn't raise his morale, it only prevents him from contributing to articles. ~ DanielTom (talk) 11:54, 27 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Bickering and feuding harms the project. If you consider yourself a child, and a one day block to be a slap in the face, I won't argue the implications. BD2412 T 13:07, 27 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

The implications would indeed be disturbing.[1] ~ DanielTom (talk) 17:37, 10 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Do you do these manually, i.e., one by one? When I have to do similar edits ([2][3][4]), I always wonder if there is an easier/faster way to do them. Cheers ~ DanielTom (talk) 18:58, 10 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Since they were large sections, I copied each group of quotes into a word document and did a search and replace. BD2412 T 19:41, 10 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Ah, nice trick. (Thanks for sharing.) ~ DanielTom (talk) 19:50, 10 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Can you think of any quick(er) way of adding a dot (.) at the end of each reference on the Virgil page (e.g., line xxx.)? (The "search and replace" method doesn't seem to work for that goal.) Thanks ~ DanielTom (talk) 21:30, 13 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

I hope you're not thinking of blocking me again for 30 days just because of this edit. (It will be hard for me to come up with something funnier than this if you do block me again this time, but I'll try...) Okay, take care. ~ DanielTom (talk) 17:49, 28 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Not even thinking about it. Cheers! BD2412 T 23:27, 28 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Could sending personal information that proves me and Diogo are brothers (e.g., my Passport) via email be grounds for a global lock? ~ DanielTom (talk) 17:26, 1 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

I don't know. Those are not issues that I have had to deal with. BD2412 T 17:45, 1 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Okay. As you know, my brother was blocked some time ago in many wikis where he has zero edits (by a person I cannot name). He was recently unblocked at Commons, where admin asked him to write on his user page that he is my brother. (He did so [5], as a favor, which may be amusing to the people who think he is my sock.) He was also unblocked at Wikisource [6] on the grounds that he had no edits there. (He also has no edits here.)

Other than the strong evidence presented by email that he is my brother (including citizen card, ID), there are other things which you included can check. 1) he created his account in 2009 (I myself didn't even know about accounts till late 2012); 2) the email with which he registered his account is diofact@hotmail.com (confirm that); 3) he still uses that email, even on his Facebook account, where you can find him (Diogo Tomé). I think it is obvious that the account is his.

Also worth noting, he, just like me, registered with his real name, which is not what socks do (if somehow I were to have a sock, and could magically have created it 5 years ago, I would name it "starwarsfan93" or something like that). Although I know he doesn't want to edit Wikiquote, I still don't think he should be blocked here on sock grounds.

I would ask the person I can't name, who blocked him the the first place, to unblock his account, as he did at Wikisource, but I don't want to be blocked for 30 days (I suppose even this request alone could get me in trouble), so I'm asking you. ~ DanielTom (talk) 21:47, 5 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
